Obama flat out lies for another scare tactic.

He lied that 80% of Americans want a tax hike.

President Obama on Friday kept up the pressure on Republicans to agree to revenue increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, claiming 80 percent of the public supports Democrats' demand for tax increases.

The truth is.....

Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not.

There is a huge partisan divide on the question. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike in the deal while 82% of Republicans do not. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, 35% favor a tax hike and 51% are opposed.

So only 58% of DEMOCRATS even what a tax hike. He is pathetic with his scare tactics! Give it up! it is $3 billion!! You wasted that or more, away every day last year!

Anyone who thinks you can just "cut cut cut" the deficits away is dreaming.

A huge portion of the deficit is due to the Bush tax cuts, anyway you slice it. And when you add in the costs incurred by the two unnecessary wars Bush got us into it, it accounts for a huge portion of the remainder.

And yet you guys don't seem to have learned a very simple lesson.

You can't just slash taxes while at the same time pushing for expensive wars.

Wars have to paid for. What would you suggest instead of taxes to do that? A bake sale?

I guess they think if they keep repeating it often enough someone will think it's true... Unfortunately ,the only ones who think it's true are the other Kool-Aid drinkers...

I think Vodka and Tonic are the call for today...

The military is only 19% of the budget.

But back to the original point, if 80% of the people want higher taxes on the rich, why did the TEA Party win so many seats in 2010?

Simple, they are a bunch of racists. That is a para phrase of what Thom Hartman is currently saying on the radio.

Let's look at facts. Compare a Democrat run state of Illinois who has raised it taxes over 67% and raised spending, and the Republican run stae of Texas who has Cut taxes and spending. Which state's economy is working and growing and which is one of the worst?

This wall street editor is from Illinios and explains why raising taxes does not work!

Stop picking on millionaires.

Texas lowered taxes and spending and made it a business freindly state. What has it produced?
